Guest guest Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 It's the perfect represtation of my genetics and my environment. It's at it's optimum level, given those 2 things. My body has made sure to maintain itself in optimum health (which meant higher weight due to well over a decade of near continual self-imposed starvation), because that's what bodies do. If I feel bad about myself, it's not because of my body, it's because I need to work on my self-regard. If my clothes are too tight, the problem is not my body, it's the clothes. I recently bought myself a new pair of work pants. I bought a larger size with a stretchier fabric, and I couldn't believe how much more comfortable I felt at work. Why would I wear pants for over a year now that made me feel restricted in a job where I walk, sit, squat, lunge, bend, etc. all day long? Why would I disregard my own comfort that way? I walked past a mirror at work the other day and thought critical things about myself. I've done that no matter what weight or shape I've ever been. Once again, the problem is obviously not my body, it's with this habit of being mean to myself. I've been working a lot on these things over the past few months. It's really hard work, though. I guess these things take a long time. Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
